Here is what we're facing. The Panthers have to teach the DBs how to execute the defense at a high level before we are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.

This is not a quick fix situation. We will see a gradual improvement in the secondary over the course of the rest of the season, with the secondary tightening up the zone, and cleaning up the execution down the home stretch (last 4 games or so, maybe a little sooner).  The question mark is what will the Falcons and Saints do while we're all over the place and losing? If either one of them runs up a high win total, then we're finished. We basically need to hope that the Saints/Falcons lose their closely contested games, and injuries (god forbid) could also slow them down and keep us in striking distance.

Right now we have to weather the storm and hope hurricane bonehead doesn't destroy our season.

If you want inspiration, look up the Patriots 2014 season.

They had a rough start. Their O-Line was trash. Their loss to the Chiefs in week 4 made everyone believe the Patriots reign over the NFL was over. They even questioned if Tom Brady was fit to remain a starter. Well obviously that was to change, as the Patriots set off to knock down everyone and come out with a Super Bowl victory.

Even with their history of cheating, it's still inspiring to see teams rise up and face adversity, and come out strong. I STRONGLY believe we are capable of going through this, and ended this roller coaster season with a sweet Superb Owl 51 trophy and ring for Jerry Richardson, Sam Mills, and everyone on this team who rightfully deserves such.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
